The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is seeking a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive boiler maintenance, inspection, calibration, and repair services across more than 40 state correctional facilities. This master‑agreement will issue separate purchase orders per location and runs from January 1 2027 through December 31 2029. Bidders must submit hourly rates for preventive maintenance, normal‑hour repairs, after‑hours repairs, and emergency response, plus a 25 % “as‑needed” surcharge. Mandatory and optional site walk‑throughs are scheduled in late October 2026, and participation in mandatory walk‑throughs is required to bid. The contract includes stringent licensing, insurance, and compliance requirements (CSLB specialty licence, workers’‑comp, liability coverage, PREA training, TB testing, etc.) and offers small‑business and DVBE preferences.
• Scope covers all labor, materials, transportation, permits, parts, rentals, and source‑testing for boilers and steam generators at each facility.
• Pricing is based on hourly rates submitted by the bidder; the lowest responsible bid wins, with possible tie‑breakers based on discount percentages.
• Mandatory walk‑throughs (e.g., Avenal State Prison, Central California Women’s Facility, etc.) must be attended; optional walk‑throughs are available for other sites.
• Contractor must maintain required licenses, insurance, and comply with numerous state regulations (DVBE, small‑business, sanctions, GenAI, Darfur, Iran, civil‑rights, etc.).
• Submission is electronic only by Nov 9 2026, with a full set of certifications and a completed rate‑sheet Excel file.
